County Of Volusia

County of Volusia, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in DeLand, Florida, receives federal grants as a prime recipient across transportation, housing, emergency management, and public safety domains, with no federal contract prime awards or contractor role in the source data. The county operates as a recipient under formula and project grants from the Department of Transportation, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and subordinate federal agencies, alongside sub-recipient awards passed through state agencies including the Florida Division of Emergency Management and Florida Department of Commerce.

The county's federal footprint spans 432 awards with a combined potential value of $105.6 million and combined obligated dollars of $998.9 million, reflecting substantial grant execution volume across multiple programs. Activity has grown from 14 awards in 2022 to 53 in 2025 and 43 in 2026, driven primarily by disaster recovery and ongoing transit operations funding. Top customer agencies by award count are the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards (78 awards), the Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (69 awards), the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration (39 awards), the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (24 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (24 awards), accounting for 54% of all awards. Top customer agencies by potential value differ marginally, with the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing (15 awards, $37.8 million combined potential value) anchoring the dollar ranking, followed by the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration (7 awards, $8.2 million combined potential value).

Capability work is concentrated in four domains. Public transit operations and capital projects dominate the portfolio: the Federal Transit Administration has awarded the county $14.6 million, $12.66 million, $5.46 million, and multiple smaller grants under CFDA 20.507 (Federal Transit Formula Grants) to support Volusia County Transit (VOTRAN) payroll, operating expenses, preventive maintenance, and capital projects including bus purchases, facility rehabilitation, communications system upgrades, and mobility-on-demand services across the Daytona-Port Orange and Deltona urbanized areas. Airport infrastructure and safety improvements represent the second major category: the Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region has awarded the county $9.81 million for security equipment at Daytona Beach International Airport (CFDA 20.106, Airport Improvement Program), $3.796 million for taxiway rehabilitation and lighting, $1.115 million for design phase work on airport improvements, and smaller awards for runway safety area construction and beacon reconstruction. Disaster recovery and hazard mitigation dominate FEMA activity: the county received $133.5 million in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery and Mitigation funds (CFDA 14.228) on June 10, 2025, to support long-term recovery from presidentially declared disasters; FEMA has also funded debris removal, emergency protective measures, and hazard mitigation grant projects for flood-prone residential elevations across Ormond Beach and Deltona. Housing and homelessness support represents the fourth pillar: the Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded the county $673 thousand for HOME Investment Partnerships (CFDA 14.239), $149 thousand for Emergency Solutions Grants (CFDA 14.231), and recurring Community Development Block Grant entitlement funding (CFDA 14.228) for affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing.

The county acts as prime recipient on 72% of awards (311 awards), with 28% flowing through as sub-awards (121 awards) from state pass-through agencies. Sub-recipient awards primarily route through the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management and Florida Department of Commerce for disaster recovery, emergency management, low-income home energy assistance, and community services block grant activities. The source data shows no federal contract vehicles or contractor role; the county's top parent vehicles by the source taxonomy are Basic Ordering Agreements GS04B42852 (72 task orders, $89.6 million combined potential value) and GS04B42851 (26 task orders, $150 thousand combined potential value), which appear to reflect real property leasing or facility-related BOAs rather than traditional federal contracting. Award category concentration reflects the county's core mission: Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses) ranks as the top NAICS with 100 awards, consistent with facility ownership and airport operations; Lease/Rental of Office Buildings (PSC) dominates with 53 awards. Twelve awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure; the county's recurring formula grant allocations from HUD, FTA, and FEMA suggest ongoing annual entitlements rather than discretionary recompete risk in the traditional sense.
